VERS Research (1995/96) The foundation project for VERS addressed the issues of electronic records management and archiving, culminating in a report called Keeping Electronic Records Forever. As the project was designed to establish a conceptual answer to a technological problem, the report developed a business case that explained the recommended solution in conceptual terms and identified the key issues upon which it impacted. The project team concluded that there was a fundamental need for a 'static' record that was inviolable and which satisfied the evidentiary requirements of courts and government. It further concluded that agencies required 'static' records to which they could refer for their own operational needs, but also the full functionality that came with computer software applications, in order to create, modify and manipulate documents. | |||||
